Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by eporres on 8/26/2018 & rated 93 points: Scintillatingly good white Burgundy wine. JM was previously the winemaker for Olivier LeFlaive. In my experience, white burgundy needs more time to breath and should be served above 50F. You’ll be rewarded with the creamy and buttery flavor so well-regarded from the #appellation. #93pts (1040 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 6/8/2015: Liked this one a lot. This showed traces of oak that seemed to be well-absorbed. Good, clean, clear palate. Shows good acidity and cut. I know Boillot to be pretty heavy on the oak, but not here. Nice acids, too. Thanks David. Racines with Sarah and the Sugarmen. (2168 views)
 Tasted by jeffreylubowski on 11/24/2014 & rated 91 points: Perfectly aged. Great medium body. Low alc. Very burgundy. Fruit is starting to fade. Mostly stone and lemon left. I wish CA could do this more often. (2555 views)
 Tasted by silton on 12/29/2013 & rated 90 points: Nice mineral nuances, but showing more narrow on the palate than I recall previously, the nose being sufficiently pungent in its austerity to hit those white burg happy places. (2703 views)
 Tasted by Mattshank on 12/13/2013 & rated 90 points: Last had on 8/25/12, but last notes were on 1/21/12. The lemon attributes and firms acids are still there. There is quite a bit of life left in this wine (based on this bottle at least) but given the subdued fruit profile I would not go beyond another year or so. Still a solid 90 pointer on this last bottle. This paired well with Panko Tilapia. (2711 views)
 Tasted by Taffi on 12/9/2013 & rated 90 points: Still fresh and I would prefer giving it some more years (1884 views)
 Tasted by cweiner on 11/3/2013 & rated 89 points: Disappointed. Agree probably not ready yet as the oak overpowering. (1135 views)
 Tasted by 5laton on 5/4/2013: This is in a nice place - will accelerate my pace with these. (1363 views)
 Tasted by spillwine on 4/13/2013 & rated 91 points: Merveilleux (1053 views)
 Tasted by cweiner on 2/17/2013 & rated 89 points: Still a bit too much toast and oak for my liking. I will let the remaining bottles sit longer. (1063 views)
 Tasted by rocknroller on 8/25/2012 & rated 90 points: Annual Wine Group Summer Event - Loads of Wine (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Medium gold color. PnP, drank 1 glass over 15 minutes. I like the nose here, toasty, oak, smoky, stony minerals, citrus. I agree with some others comments on the oak being more prominent than expected, but the palate does handle it fairly well. The palate comes off as medium bodied, citrus, oak, lemon, some earth and a bit of burnt rubber in there as well. Nice balance overall, medium plus finish. (2259 views)
 Tasted by Todd French on 2/9/2012: Excellent drinking now - oak not integrated, but the fruit and body can stand up to it (1778 views)
 Tasted by Mattshank on 1/21/2012 & rated 90 points: Nose: Originally quite toasty but with air the lemon qualities really come through (almost a candied lemon quality). Some stone mineral also present. Palate: Somewhat linear with subtle lemon flavors. Light finish. Overall a pretty feminine PM that, while not overly inspiring, is still quite pleasant. (1523 views)
 Tasted by silton on 10/7/2011 & rated 91 points: Drunk last week. I agree with most of what is written below; lemon/stone profile with a few complex touches, nice definition and harmonious acidity. 91+ (1507 views)
 Tasted by decaturwinedude on 5/28/2011 & rated 88 points: A bit toasty and woody initially. Some rockiness and salt water notes emerge. Not too acidic right now. Slightly rich, but not very deep if that makes sense. Lemony. Good, not great, but worth it's asking price. Maybe better in a few years. (1727 views)
 Tasted by Todd French on 2/11/2011 & rated 92 points: A wonderful Puligny-Montrachet destined for greatness in another 5-10 years...WAIT (1926 views)
 Tasted by gorm on 1/29/2010 & rated 92 points: Clear light yellow. Fresh nose with dried flowers, freshly squeezed lemon and hints of licorice root. Not as fat and buttery as I've come to expect from this vineyard, but much more precise and delineated. Must be the vintage showing. Very nice. (2132 views)

J.M. Boillot

Jean-Marc Boillot Producer Website

En 1998, le domaine s’est étendu dans le Languedoc-Roussillon, où il produit une gamme de Vins de Pays d’Oc. Le Domaine est situé en zone d’appellations Pic Saint Loup, Coteau du Languedoc entre la Mer Méditerranée et les Cévennes.
Le vignoble est inséré dans un paysage de falaises calcaires et de garrigues.
Les sols sont argilo-calcaires, caillouteux, filtrants. Les écarts de températures diurnes et nocturnes favorisent l’élaboration de vins d’une grande finesse.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
